Chris Farlowe - Hungary for the Blues (2006)

spotify:album:0Pzi6KDz1Xn87qyAlQWVLE
This is a live recording that takes me back to the 1960’s when I saw Chris live – great memories.
I love live recordings when they convey real atmosphere, which I believe this does. Chris had/has a great voice and did not get the full recognition I believe he deserved.
Hungary for the Blues is his third live album released in 2006. I think it’s only available on CD.
This album is a recording of two performances by Farlowe. One was on June 18th 2000 at the Gastroblues Festival Paks, in Hungary, and other was on October 8th, 2004 at the Charlys Musikkneipe, in Oldenburg.
Info from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Farlowe) - Chris Farlowe was born John Henry Deighton, 13 October 1940, in Islington, North London, and is an English rock, blues and soul singer.
He is best known for his hit single "Out of Time", which rose to #1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1966, and his association with Colosseum and the Thunderbirds.
He also covered versions of Rolling Stones songs including "Paint It, Black", "Think", "Ride On, Baby", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", and "Out of Time". He also recorded Mike d'Abo's "Handbags and Gladrags", my preferred version compared to the Sterophonics and Rod Stewart.
